Ingredients

Scale

Filling

  • 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1/3 cup Swerve confectioner’s sugar substitute
  • 2 teaspoons cinnamon, divided
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Wraps

  • 2 soft taco-sized zero carb tortillas

For Cooking and Topping

  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 2 tablespoons Swerve granulated sugar substitute

Instructions

  1. Prepare the filling: Blend together the softened cream cheese, vanilla extract, powdered Swerve confectioner’s sugar substitute, and 1 teaspoon of cinnamon in a mixing bowl until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
  2. Spread the filling: Evenly spread half of the cream cheese mixture over each of the two zero-carb tortillas, covering the surface completely for a uniform flavor.
  3. Roll the tortillas: Carefully and tightly roll each tortilla closed around the cream cheese filling to form a log shape, ensuring the filling stays inside.
  4. Chill the rolls: Place the rolled tortillas into the freezer for 1 hour to firm up, making them easier to slice and handle during cooking.
  5. Slice into spirals: After chilling, remove the rolls from the freezer and slice them into bite-sized spiral pieces.
  6. Heat the butter: Warm the 2 tablespoons of butter in a skillet over medium heat until melted and hot, ready for sautéing.
  7. Cook the bites: Sauté the cinnamon cream cheese bites in the hot butter until they are browned and crispy on the outside, turning carefully to cook evenly on all sides.
  8. Prepare cinnamon sugar topping: Stir together the granulated Swerve sugar substitute and remaining 1 teaspoon of cinnamon in a small bowl to create the topping.
  9. Add the finishing touch: Sprinkle the cinnamon sugar mixture over the warm cinnamon cream cheese bites before serving to add extra sweetness and spice.

Notes

  • Use zero-carb or very low-carb tortillas to keep the recipe keto-friendly.
  • Softening the cream cheese properly helps create a smooth filling that spreads easily.
  • Freezing the rolled tortillas is essential to firm them up for neat slicing.
  • Use butter or a keto-friendly fat for sautéing to enhance flavor and crispiness.
  • Swerve is a sugar substitute with zero glycemic impact, good for keto and low-carb diets.
  • The bites are best enjoyed fresh and warm but can be reheated briefly for later consumption.
  • To vary flavors, try adding a pinch of nutmeg or a few drops of almond extract to the filling.
